<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Each volume of <i>The Annotated Shakespeare</i> proves to be a splendid addition to the series."--Tita French Baumlin, Southwest Missouri State University</b> <p/> From the hilarious mischief of the elf Puck to the rough humor of the self-centered Bottom and his fellow players, from the palace of Theseus in Athens to the magic wood where fairies play, Shakespeare's lyrical <i>A Midsummer Night's Dream </i>is a play of enchantment and an insightful portrait of the predicaments of love. This extensively annotated edition makes <i>Midsummer</i> completely accessible to readers in the twenty-first century and provides a rich resource for students, teachers, and the general reader. <p/> Burton Raffel's on-page annotations offer generous help with vocabulary and usage of Elizabethan English, pronunciation, prosody, and alternative readings of phrases and lines. In his introduction he explores the complexities of <i>A Midsummer Night's Dream</i>. And in a concluding essay, Harold Bloom examines the play's extraordinary mélange of characters.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Burton Raffel</b> was Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Arts and Humanities and emeritus professor of English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Among his many edited and translated publications are<i> Poems and Prose from the Old English, Cligès, Lancelot, Perceval, Erec and Enide</i>, and<i> Yvain</i>, all published by Yale University Press. <b>Harold Bloom</b> was Sterling Professor of the Humanities at Yale University and Berg Professor of English at New York University, and the author of many books, including<i> The Western Canon</i> and<i> Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human.</i>
